Ohio State WR/RB Curtis Samuel visits Bucs

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been extremely busy the past few weeks, hosting numerous players for predraft visits and workouts to get a better idea of who they would like to potentially target in the 2017 NFL draft.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the latest player to workout for the Buccaneers is Ohio State’s Curtis Samuel.

What stands out the most about Samuel is how incredibly versatile he is. He has experience playing both wide receiver and running back which are two positions the Bucs could use some additional depth at. In 2016, the 5-foot-11, 196 pound Buckeye accumulated 865 receiving yards and 771 rushing yards accompanied with a total of 15 touchdowns for Urban Meyer’s offensive scheme. Following his collegiate campaign, he impressed scouts at the NFL Combine, running a 4.31 40-yard dash.

Overall, Samuel possesses the type of production, speed and versatility that could help the Buccaneers out immensely this season. Considering his experience playing wide receiver and running back along with his solid performance during his time at Ohio State, he’s definitely a player the Bucs should keep an eye on with the draft quickly approaching.

Samuel now joins a list of college athletes that features Miami tight end David Njoku, Alabama tight end O.J. Howard, University of Southern California cornerback Adoree’ Jackson and several others who have now had predraft visits with the Bucs. The team will be hosting their local predraft visit on April 14th.
